Coverage in Rathdrum center is pretty good (3 bars and full 3G coverage), coverage indoors is good as well (about 1 bar in my house). No dropped calls as of yet. The service does drop off about 1 / 2 way between Rathdrum and Newport (about 15 miles out of Rathdrum), and doesn't return till you actually hit Newport city center, then quickly cuts out around 5 miles out of town. So in all, for me, From CDA, Post falls to Rathdrum and Athol, Spirit Lake, and Twin Lake, the coverage is pretty darn good. I watch streaming movies as well, with the kids in the car, and tether the PC for other games for my older kids, and for the most part, we can stream spongebob and games with o too much issue in Rathdrum, some minor delays here and ther, but once you hit Hayden / Coeur D Alene or Post Falls, it's like having your own dedicated DSL line.

At the edge of the "good" reception range. Rare drops, always recieve calls, messages. Quality sometimes "spotty" but acceptable.
